Hi

Why don't you try Tavel Supermarket, it's a comparison site and you get to choose from several companies. We've always found them very good.

Good luck.

We used Locauto www.locauto.pt/about.htm - excellent service and very competitive, situated at the top of restaurant hill.

My son has just gone home after a week here and couldn't get a small car for anything less than €240 for 7 days. He tried all the usual suspects - without success.

Rental companies are getting maximum utilisation from their assets while increasing prices - because they know the fleets of hire cars are 30% of what they used to be in times of 'plenty'. Don't expect any 'cheap' deals - there aren't any.

If you haven't booked for August - you will struggle to get anything sensibly priced now - sorry

Have just checked with Economycarrentals and for a small car 14th Aug till 12th Sept they want nearly €1400 Thank the Lord Harry Im driving my own car down and its only 2500km each way

This has been warned about for months and the CVO home page has carried this most of this year.

1 alternative some are using is to fly via Lisbon and pick up your car there. Car Hire is certainly cheaper. I case we know of 40% less than a local Algarve company and a better,newer car.

A friend just got car hire in faro from a company called Guerin - 5 seater estate for £450 for 2 weeks

Macassa - for August?

I've always used this company, cars are available, always had good cars.

Last year my hire car was broken into, the side window was smashed. Within 2 hours a replacement car was delivered, no hassle, no charges.

I am paying about 400 euros for 2.5 weeks from 4th August with economycarrentals.
